1200 2400 Description This command is used to display the Bluetooth address of the local adaptor. Inquire the Bluetooth address of the local adaptor. Check the connection status between control terminal and the RS-232 adapter. Response: OK when the connection is ok. Response: ERROR when the connection is not ok. This command is used to enable/disable auto-connection feature. It is available only when the adaptor is in the master role. Automatically connect the adaptor to a device specified by
"DEVICE" or any available device if
"DEVICE=xxxxxxxxxxxx" is not executed. Disable auto-connection feature. After it is executed, you need to execute "CONNECT" to manually connect a remote device. Inquire the current setting. This command is used to specify the baud rate of COM port. 1200 bps 2400 bps 4 User Manual V1.2

This command is used to establish a connection. It is available only when the adaptor is in the master role. Connect the adaptor to a specified Bluetooth device. It is available only when "DEVICE=xxxxxxxxxxxx" is executed. Connect the adaptor to a Bluetooth device in the neighborhood found through "SEARCH=?"
This command is used to restore the default settings and originate a warm start. Restore the default settings (e.g. 19200 bps). For security purpose, this command is used to specify a unique remote Bluetooth serial adaptor to be connected. In the master role, the adaptor pairs and connects with the designated remote slave address. If the adaptor is in the slave mode, this command is a filter condition to accept the inquiry of the master device. Restore the status in which the adaptor can connect with any remote address. Inquiry the designated address that can be paired and connected. This command is used to specify whether the adaptor can be discovered or connected by remote devices. The adaptor enters the undiscoverable mode. If a pair has been made, the original connection can be resumed. But other remote master device cannot discover this adaptor. The adaptor enters the discoverable mode. Inquire the current setting. This command is used to specify whether the adaptor echoes characters received from the UART back to the DTE/DCE. Command characters received from the UART are not echoed back to the DTE/DCE. Command characters received from the UART are echoed back to the DTE/DCE. Inquire the current setting. This command enable or disable flow control signals 5 xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx "xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx" is a string of 14 hexadecimal digits. R User Manual V1.2

Inquire the current setting This command is used to specify a name for the adaptor. You can specify a friendly name using 0 to 9, A to Z, a to z, space and , which are all valid characters. Note that "first space or -, last space or isnt permitted". The default name is Serial Adaptor.
"xxxxx" is a character string with a maximal length of 16. Inquire the name of the local adaptor. This command is used to specify parity bit setting of COM port. None parity bit Odd parity Even parity Inquire the current setting. This command is used to specify a PIN. The default PIN is
"1234". Paired adaptors should have a same PIN.
"xxxxx" is a 4~8-digit string. Cancel authentication by PIN. Inquire the current PIN. The command is used to decide whether result messages are prompted when Setup commands are executed. The result messages are: OK/ERROR for command execution, or CONNECT/DISCONNECT for connection status. Prompt result messages. Not prompt result messages. Inquire the current setting. This command is used to specify whether the adaptor is in the master or slave role. If the device role is changed, the adaptor will reboot and all paired addresses will be cleared. Set the adaptor to the master role. Set the adaptor to the slave role. Inquire the current role of the adaptor. This command is used to search for any Bluetooth device in the neighborhood within one minute. If any device is found, its name and address will be listed. The search ends with a message "Inquiry ends. xx device(s) found."
This command is available only when the adaptor is in the master role. Inquire Bluetooth devices in the neighborhood, listing 8 devices the maximum This command is used to specify one or two stop bits of COM port. 6 User Manual V1.2 1
